These TV segments always go by too quickly, and I can never get in all the cool facts about the animals and conservation messages that I want to. So, watch the clip and then keep reading to get even more info about each of these cool wild animals.

Don’t forget to let us know which one was your favorite in the comments section!

Cane Toad (Bufo marinus)

Cane toads are NOT declining and in fact are one of the worst invasive exotic species in Australia, where they were deliberately introduced to control cane beetles but instead ate the native endemic wildlife

Large parotid glands produce toxins to deter predators – so big they can cause fatal poisoning in pets and other predators that try to eat them
